Henry VIII succeeded Henry VII, his father, from 1509 as king; after divorce from Catherine of Aragon as the first of his six wives compelled him to break from the Catholics, the act of supremacy of 1534 established the Church of England.

His insistence on a divorce with Catherine of Aragon as his first wife in 1533 caused his break with Rome and the beginning of the Reformation.

Anne Boleyn served as queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as his second wife.

Jane Seymour, queen of England from 1536 as his third wife, gave birth to Edward VI, his heir, and afterward died.

Anne of Cleves served as queen of England from January 1540 to July 1540 as his fourth wife.

From 1547, Edward VI, his son with Jane Seymour|, reigned as king of England and Ireland.

His physical decline dominated his later reign. Henry lay dying in 1547 with last words, reportedly, "monks monks monks", with certain historians consider as a reference to eviction during the dissolution of the monasteries.
